Gullick, John. Adventurous Women in South-East Asia: Six Lives. New York: Oxford University Press 1995.
TOC: Sophia Raffles; Harriette McDougall; Anna Leonowens; Emily Innes; Isabella Bird; Anna Forbes.
Chapter titles: "Sophia Raffles: Hardship and Travel in Sumatra," John Bastin; "Harriette McDougall: First Woman Missionary to Sarawak," Graham Saunders; "Anna Leonowens: 'School Mastress' at the Court of Siam," Michael Smithies; "Emily Innes: Keeping Up One's Standards in Malaya," John Gullick; "Isabella Bird: 'Escape from Civilisation' in Malaya," John Gullick; "Anna Forbes: A Naturalist's Companion in the Far East," Henry Barlow
Introduction by Gullick. Punctuation and spelling in titles is thus. All the subjects wrote their own memoirs; "the limits of available source material ... confines the choice to women of the professional class, more particularly church and the army families...But they were not just ordinary, representative specimens of the social class from which they came" (Introduction, xvi). The chapters have bibliographies and illustrations: photographs, maps, contemporary images of setting or persons. The Anna Leonowens biography is aware not only of her versions of the story and The King and I but also of further sources through 1993.
